Welcome Marian (Frank's Mom). Let us know if you have any questions. These ladies are a wealth of information and support.
We were blessed to see our DS and his sweet wife for Memorial Day. I was quite surprised when he drove up and had a mustache! He is bouncing for his carrier quals and he told us it is tradition to grow a mustache until after qualification. I'm glad they have some fun with it!

Good luck with the move Nancy. Let us know if you hear anything about the fund for the Marine's family. I'm sure it was a hard weekend for them.
We've been working on our house, getting it ready for a daughter's wedding. My greenroom is overflowing with plants I started early so they might be flowering by solstice. She wants a garden wedding three weeks after the last frost date. So we're going for it. Luckily the sun is out about eighteen hours now. I just wish my son could come. I did get a call from him this weekend when they made a port call.

Today is the day I remember my father explaining why we fly our flag. I don't think I understood until I was much older the reason's he was so passionate about it. I gave our children the same talk. Look where that got them:) Happy Memorial Day to all. God Bless our Nation.

Remembering the sacrifices, especially those in our Naval Aviation community over the past year, this Memorial Day. Thanks to all our service members and their families, may you feel honored & blessed today. Suzie, I couldn't agree with you more, it is shameful that a large segment of society doesn't really know or care. We can all be a part of helping to educate the public about the true meaning of Memorial Day. JudyM-congrats to your DS on making his quals. We all know that it isn't just luck but countless hours of hard work, training, focus, teamwork and a huge dose of courage. My DS says that maintenance has really slowed down the training at Lemoore and his CQs may be bumped back to December! He wishes he could come to Brazil with his wife and I, leaving tonight to watch my youngest play for the US National DIII college women in a pre World Cup goodwill tour of Brazil. We will be meeting Capt. Barbosa (seriously) of the Brazilian Navy on Wed. in Sao Paolo then next week will get a tour of the Brazilian Navy base in Rio. Tchau!

JudyM. What does your son fly?

I guess DS will find out in the next week or two what he will be doing next. They just had an offer accepted for a house in Anacortes, so it would be nice if he was still at Whidbey.
